Cooler days ahead as monsoon ends
MANILA, Philippines — Cold and dry winds are expected soon as the state weather bureau has declared the end of the southwest monsoon season.
“This marks the termination of the rainy season over the western sections of Luzon and the Visayas,” the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
“The country is now transitioning to the northeast monsoon season, which will be observed and declared in the coming weeks,” it added.
During this season, temperatures gradually drop across northern and Central Luzon toward
the end of the year.
The southwest monsoon has been weakening over the past weeks, accompanied by a gradual shift in the country’s weather pattern, PAGASA said.
Typical indicators of the transition to the northeast monsoon season are the change brought by the stronger high-pressure system over East Asia and the southward migration of the intertropical convergence zone.
